Here are some answers… I’m having trouble completing the in-app setup When the in-app setup fails, look at the light on the bottom of your Spotlight Cam. The light color indicates the issue. Flashing red means your Wi-Fi password was entered incorrectly.
Why can’t I find the temporary Ring network on my phone? Sometimes your phone fails to pick up the temporary Ring network. If this happens, go to your phone settings, turn off your Wi-Fi connection, wait 30 seconds and turn it back on. If the Ring network still fails to appear, check that your Spotlight Cam is connected to power. If none of the above helped… Perform a hard reset on your Spotlight Cam by holding down the setup button for 15 seconds, waiting 30 seconds and repeating the setup process.
Why is my video and/or audio quality poor? First, determine the cause. Remove your Spotlight Cam and bring it inside near your router. Open the Ring app, and press the Live View button, or trigger a motion event to see live video. If you get good video quality near the router, you need to extend your Wi-Fi signal.
